![]() ![]() Furthermore, the results of EDX and SEM images exhibited adequate distribution of Nano SiO2 within the PEEK matrix. Moreover, improvement in hydrophobic characteristics and surface roughness of PEEK/SiO2 (81.78°), (0.66 nm) versus PEEK (71.01°), (1.23 nm), respectively, thus giving more chance to composite to be investigated in human bone/implant substitution. ![]() The outcomes indicate that there is a statistically highly significant increase in the mean value of transverse strength was seen with the PEEK/SiO2 composite (3503.02 MPa) versus PEEK (2694.61 MPa), while there is a statistically significant decrease in the mean value of the tensile strength for PEEK/SiO2 (63.69 MPa) versus PEEK (97.62 MPa). The outcomes of this investigation pertain to the differences in characteristics of a composite of SiO2/PEEK compared with pure PEEK. All data were scrutinised by SPSS software version 24 and the statistical analyses included the mean, standard deviation, and the independent sample t-test. The following assessments are conducted: SEM and EDX assessment with AFM investigation in addition to tensile strength test, transverse strength test, and wettability test. ![]() The design of this study uses 3% SiO2 and PEEK composite made using the melt blend technique and studies their characteristics with reference to pure PEEK. The study intends to characterise and assess Nano SiO2/PEEK composite prepared by using the melt blend approach. Even though PEEK polymer has a low modulus of elasticity, its mechanical attributes could be fine-tuned by integrating various inorganic filler materials. In the domain of dentistry, PEEK materials have been utilised as removable partial denture frameworks, implant substances, and fixed dental prostheses. ![]()
